It doesn’t matter what kind of action sport you’re into, every single sport out there has one thing in common, they all require some kind of strength.

While you might not think that yoga is the most obvious sport to use when strength training, many top climbers, snowboarders and surfers use just this to make sure their bodies are conditioned and in peak condition for competitions.

A good strength routine in yoga can not only make your body more durable and increase your endurance, it can also dramatically reduce the risk of injury post workout.

Our yoga guru Abi Carver’s strength yoga series concentrates on just this , using upper body, lower body and core workouts that become increasingly difficult as your strength and skilfulness increase.
